The Truth About FatBurning Foods
If we only listened to the mainstream media, we
would think the most nutritious foods are fruits and veggies.
I used to believe the same thing... until I had a
talk with my older brother Jonathan.
(You could call him "The Farmer Nerd"
because he's obsessed about
the science around soils, plants and that kind of
stuff.)
Here's what he told me:
"Because agriculture has selected certain
genetics to maximize sugar content and resistance to certain pests - all
while decreasing the soils' quality with abusive farming
practices - most veggies and fruits grown today now contain way
less nutrients than 50 years ago."
Shocking, I know.
I did my own research, and it's 110% accurate that
fruits and veggies we buy today contain way less nutrients
than back in the "good ol' days"...
- One study shows a reduction of 19% calcium, 22%
iron, and 14% potassium
- Another study shows a reduction of 38% vitamin
B2, and important declines in the amount of protein, calcium,
phosphorus, iron, and vitamin C
- Another study shows a reduction of 27% calcium,
37% iron, 21% vitamin A and 30% vitamin C
But wait, it gets worse.
These concerning numbers don't even account the
fact that most of your food has to travel thousands of miles around
the world before reaching your plate, which decreases the
nutrient content further.
And don't get me started on the "fresh" apples
at the grocery store...
According to Martin Lindstrom, author of the book
"Brandwashed", the average supermarket apple is 14
months old. (That's not a typo, by the way)
Now, the question is... do you get enough nutrients
in your diet?
The facts say otherwise...
- 80 to 90% adults in the US don't get enough
vitamin D (mainly because of poor sun exposure)
- 34% of men and 27% of women don't get enough
vitamin C
- Around 74% of adults don't consume enough iodine
-- a problem that has increased by more than fourfold over the past
40 years
- One study sponsored by the National Institutes of
Health shows that 68% of Americans are magnesium deficient
- 40% of all adults are deficient in vitamin B12
All these nutrient deficiencies can take a major toll
on your health, let me tell you.
